I was looking at this recipe for Cheese and Celery Whirls over at The English Kitchen. I decided to make a few changes in it and fix it for the kids dinner along with some soup. They loved it! I sliced mine thicker, like cinnamon rolls.

Artichoke and Onion Spirals

1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a 12x7 inch pan with Pam.

Saute the onion in the olive oil. Add the chopped artichoke hearts.

Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender. Add the milk and mix until it just starts to come together. On a floured surface knead the dough 5 or 6 times. Pat out into a rectangle about 1/2 in thick. Spread the onion, artichoke mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Roll up like a jelly roll and cut into rolls like you would cinnamon rolls. Place in prepared pan and sprinkle with the reaming cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
